She trembled suddenly and took two steps back involuntarily. Her face drained of color in an instant, and she stammered, "N...no, Fifth Brother, you're mistaken."
Gu Junzhu looked at her dismissively, as if he was gazing at a piece of dirty trash. "I don't have a sister."
The color in Xie Motong's face alternated between pale and flushed. Shame made her feel as if she was bleeding, "Fifth…Fifth Master…"
Xie Rongzhen, Xie Motong's father, could no longer bear to watch. He stepped forward, blocking Xie Motong behind him, frowning at Gu Junzhu, "Xiao Zhu, the Gu and Xie families have been friends for generations. Senior Gu and my father were close friends for many years. It's not wrong for my daughter to call you Fifth Brother, right?"
"There's nothing wrong with that, Brother Xie?" Gu Junzhu raised his eyebrows, shooting Xie Rongzhen a sarcastic smile, "I call you Brother Xie. You ask your daughter to call me Fifth Brother. Is your daughter going to start calling you Brother Xie?"
